I've been debating this same thing recently; as I think I was losing some bets by throwing away hands that seemed marginal to me.

The problem is this advice kind of goes against the general "tight aggressive" approach that one would read about. However, the way that I combatted this scenario is just to keep my pre flop standards still very high, but made myself willing to call down single bets with middle pair, overcards, etc. I've found since I've started doing that I have begun to win many more hands, and the few games since I started seeing the river more with good hands have been far more profitable.
